Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt isn't uncommon for serial killers to taunt police with letters and phone calls like the killer in the show. As stated, this is due to their arrogance and need to dominate. However none of them want to get caught, they do it to prove they are smarter than the people chasing them. And they're often right.
- GoofsThere is no such place as "Jamaica state".
- Quotes
Al Burns: Lieutenant Al Burns, this is Detective Roe Saunders. Apologize for the misunderstanding.
Joanne Webster: Oh, please, Detective. A vigorous defense of a crime scene needs no apology. And in all honesty, this is my second day on the job, so my badgy thingy is in process. Apparently lamination and winning baseball has yet to hit this borough.

Featured review
Any storyline with a serial killer involved will garner a fair share of audience attention just like a roast of beef with mash potatoes and gravy would also be enjoyable. But as with any dinner sometimes the meat may be over/under cooked, dry, or just tough to chew and the mash potatoes may be too lumpy with some foreign substance mergered in with your potatoes that you can't quite make out what that substance is? But what really gives a good or bad dinner away for what you are expected to chew and swallow is the presentation of the meal and potatoes.
With this episode Season 1, episode 14, Carrie's so-called mysterious serial killer which she calls by her tag name "FRED", this episodes director Aaron Lipstadt, attempts to develop a cat and mouse game instead of good old fashioned phone sex to draw the audience in and it really doesn't work. At one point Carrie deliberately hangs up on her serial killer caller with a confidence that is just appalling "he'll call back" she says and so he does, angrily stating "Nicely played Carrie".
And so we the audience know there is a cat and mouse game going on but just who is the cat and who is the mouse? It was pretty easy figuring out who was getting played here during a scene when detectives Mike Costello (Michael Gaston), and Nina Inara (Daya Vaidya) interview a witness as to what he recalls that people are not who they appear to be.
Most TV crime fans enjoy a serial killer plot but there needs to be a lot more meat on the bone and why is my gravy cold? In my humble opinion as either a TV critic and/or food critic, this episode had a decent portion and plate of food but was not presented very well nor served properly so it only gets a 6 out of 10 rating.
